Synopsis
This time, Pierre Boulle appears on the scene, as a writer who has the luck, when he runs out of ideas, to meet a strange hundred-year-old man from the kingdom of Shandung, somewhere between India and China. The stories from this kingdom are the material of the book. The general tone is to a delightful mix of gravity and mischieviousness and the stories are subtely clever.
